This year the National Park Service turns 100 years old, and where better to celebrate than the great Pacific Northwest? This bucket list includes major national parks as well as other sites managed by the park service. It stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Cascade Range and beyond, encompassing some of the most beautiful sites in the world.

How do we define the Pacific Northwest? Some say it's the old range of the Pacific salmon, others say it's just Oregon and Washington, but for these purposes I'm using the broader map of the Cascadia Bioregion (excluding Canada), a boundary first defined in 1970 by Seattle University professor David McCloskey.

That map adds a lot of parks that aren’t commonly thought of as a part the Pacific Northwest, but hey, who can complain about a bigger bucket list?
